arrived with no damage very well packagedHaven't installed it yetInstructions are excellent and many good picturesbest price I could fined

This bumper took me most of a day to install and that was without doing any of the electrical work for the plate light or the LEDs.Instructions are nearly useless unless you own a Rubi or Saraha and I ended up with literally bags of unused parts after completing the install. Mainly, I think, because there's no back-up sensors in the JL Sport models. They bumper does come with LED lights and the license-plate relo bracket as previously stated, but...The LED lights come with two different kinds of brackets. I installed the kind shown in the instructions without issue then I run across two other brackets and I've no idea what these are for or if they were some sort of special inner bracket that fits into a larger bracket... the instructions don't tell you there's two types of brackets - just tell you to install the light into a bracket and attach the bracket to the Jeep.I didn't like how the bumper attached to the frame horn either. It's bolted using the OE bolts to the outside and bottom of the frame horn. It's not set-up to fit over the horn. There are four 10cm long bolts that bolt from the frame brace to the center of the bumper that gives it a solid mounting; I recommend bolting those first, then the outside (of the frame horn) bolts which will pull-in the bottom mount so you can get a better bite as the bottom mounts are slots and not holes.There's nothing about the LED wiring. Nothing other than you can either run it to the dash and mount the switch or wire it into the back-up lights. Pretty much word-for-word there. Useless.The license plate relo bracket was nice - thank you! - and it goes on the spare tire. Problem I had with this is that I had to dump my two proprietary lugs for the smittybuilt versions and you lock the plate mount to the end of the lug with a bolt, I believe a 19mm hex bolt. (Meaning you have to add that to your emergency tool bag in order to get the spare off if you get a flat.) You also have to invert the mounting bracket so as not to block the back-up camera meaning that the license-plate light will shine straight up onto the plate. Not a big deal - I ground-off the corners of the plate, after ditching the license plate frame, so that neither would be digging into the rubber of the spare tire.Nothing in the instructions about the wiring the license-plate light to the harness -- not even an explanation for the wiring color code (blue and green wires).(Why you didn't you just engineer a mount point for the license plate on the top of the bumper, off to the side? Was it really more important to put a piece of logo'd chrome there, which serves no useful functionality, instead?)Good news is that the bumper is a great fit! This bumper coverts the back-end of your Jeep into a tank replacing the matty-matel plastic POS bumper. You have full coverage in the rear and corner-coverage from the wrapped bars. Aesthetically, very nice, solid, work!The bumper gives you two LED back lights, a license-plate relocation bracket (yes, these are also very positive things) and a trailer hitch.Considering the price of this bumper was, at the time of my purchase, a full $200 off the retail price, it was an incredible bargain! Shipping was professional and was delivered without a scratch.I would definitely buy this bumper at this price point - but I can't give it a full-star rating because the installation instructions for the bumper and components are such utter garbage. Not all Jeeps are Rubys...

2020 Jeep JL Rubicon V6 2 Door Soft Top,, Great product, fit and finish were perfect. Original bumper was almost all plastic and hard to remove. The smitty bilt unit is heavy at roughly 200pds so it will take help to install. I elected to go with a Warn Zeon 12k cable winch which will does fit in this bumper (12k may have been overkill after looking at the jeep frame and bumper mount setup. The 10k still has the same overall length though.) However both of the top inside corners of the Jeep JL frame bumper attachment brackets will need to be modified slightly (bent out away from the jeep or cut off) to clear the winch. The bumper doesn't use that corner anyway as it attached with only 3 of the four bolt holes. We found that out after mounting the bumper and torquing the bolts as per the included instructions but when the winch didnt fit at first, we had to remove the bumper to correct the frame brackets and when we reinstalled and torqued the bolts, one of them stripped. They are thin nyloc nuts and didn't like to be torqued for a second time (reason for minus 1 star). A beefier or thicker nyloc nut probably wouldn't have failed. Newer craftsman torque wrench was used on both occasions. Over all I added roughly 320 pounds to the front of my 2 door Jeep which lowered the front only a little less than 1 inch. I can feel the additional weight while driving in both the acceleration and steering. Also installed a synergy steering stabilizer and am assuming that the jeeps loose steering issues would have been worse with the added weight without it. Performance chip is on the way along with the Smitty Bilt rear bumper.

I have the rear bumper lights tied into my backup light via a diode and WOW...I can see backing up now at night!. Very important NOTE. If you use D-Rings and hang them on the bumper, Make sure the Screw head of the D-ring is facing inward and not to the outside. Drove me crazy trying to figure out WHY my right rear parking sensor was going off every time I backed up. I am right handed so therefore I had the head part of the D-Ring closer to the right rear sensor. Reversed it and put it in from the left and the sensor problem went away.Disappointing to see CHINA on the box when it arrived. I had no Idea.

Exactly what I wanted! I love it! Looks even better in person. I did not use the manual very much that was included. I watched youtube videos- one helpful one was by extreme terrain. The bolts are tricky to find on the existing bumper. The only issue I really had though is taking the bumper off after I had all the bolts out.... maybe it's something different on the 2019 but it seemed like there was an extra latch or bend that I couldn't find that was preventing the old one from coming off. Eventually, we just pulled as hard as we could and it came off finally. The only time we needed two people was putting this on to align the position. Overall, i am extremely happy with this bumper! I plan to buy the front too!

I added spacers between the jeep frame and the bumper bolts . If you don't do that, you won't be able to wire the winch properly and you can forget about taking the grille out when the winch sits in,.... so to say if you burn a headlight bulbs , you have to unhook the bumper to access the bulb... How sweet .. After all this work around ( spacers, rewire the winch , etc..) it is a great bumper .

Smittybilt has not released the add-on Tire Carrier that fits into this bumper as of mid July. They do have it in production but not released for sale yet.

Fits perfect on my 2018 jl Rubicon, led bumper lights works great, very strong steel, very happy with it.Doesnt show in the pics but it does come with a license plate relocation bracket and light to mount on the spare tire. If you have the back up camera mount it upside down.
